I paid 699 for this piece of cr”p !! I have never in my life owned anything that smells so worse. I bought it out of curiosity and one comment i saw about how this is best one out of all; but it legit smells like fruits in a vomit ;

Or another description could be : i enter a metro with mixed up scents of faint fragrances and lots of sweat

Or : when you enter a smelly public washroom with a fragrance of air freshener mixed up in the air.

Just ewwww…. It only gets worse with the drydown

I really wish we had more hair fragrance products available in India. Please drop suggestions of hair perfumes/mists you've tried or the ones you have in your collection. Been in search of one for a long time. The hair and body mists sold by most brands here do nothing to my hair other than make it more frizzy 🫠

Got this set as I like the brand's makeup and their marketing was quite good.

These are first impressions but my first impressions about fragrances are pretty spot on, so hope this helps.

Bottles are nothing to write home about. Cap plastic seems cheap. Atomiser on one of the bottles seems wonky. Got the charm for free and it's definitely worth only being a freebie.

Last night in Thailand - I was most excited about the Mango Sticky Rice scent, but it was a let down. It has no scent of rice not even the comforting scent of pandan has been captured. It's more of a fresh mango scent with a bit creamy/slightly coconutty dry down but naming it as a mango sticky rice scent is misleading. It starts with a green, minty note and even after a couple of minutes it remains a bit green and gets a bit soapy in the middle. And in the dry down it just remains a sweet slightly mango-y scent. It still feels a bit soapy but slightly creamy. But a let down as I was expecting a nutty, starchy scent that's trending these days. The marketing guys just naming things for the sake of it makes me mistrust fragrance brands these days and that's exactly what's happened here. On its own the fragrance isn't too bad but not named well so a letdown. Still it's say a 6.5/10 only for me

My Boyfriend's Hoodie - it's quite true to the name and smells like the remains of a men's perfume. I don't like these notes so will hardly use it. 5/10

Dessert in hotel room - This was still better because I had zero expectations and was thinking this one will be on lines of "Loyal to You" (BBW) or Victoria (Lattafa), but this was quite reminiscent of a true lemon tart with lemon curd. Those are not my favourite desserts to be honest but at least it was photorealistic. Dry down isn't bad either on skin, it's lemony vanilla. I think this is the only one worth buying if they come out with individual bottles and priced correctly. 7/10

Worst fragrance is Destination Wedding - OMG I have never hated a white floral this bad. Even local attars smell better. I have liked a lot of white florals recently so thought this could not be that bad but one spray on my arm and I was dizzy. It's so bad and cheap and smells almost rancid/bitter? Goodness.... 0/10

Overall it's 5/10 for me. Won't repurchase anything if they come up with full size. 

Just first impressions so not tested for longevity.

So Plums B2G2 sale is about to go live in 11 hours, and I want to add some new scents to my collection. If you have used any of these 5 EDPs, please share your thoughts/reviews!!

I already own Hawaiian Rumba, Tripping Mimosas, and all 3 vanillas, and honestly, they work really well for me.

Edit: Ordered 15mls of both Pistachio and Moonkissed!

I came across their ad on Facebook and I was genuinely intrigued. They only seem to have launched the discovery set as of now. The scent profiles of three of them seem generic and common but the last one - 'Last night in Thailand' with notes of Mango, coconut milk, pandan, sticky rice, steam creme is something I've never seen in an Indian brand. I'm probably going to wait for reviews on YouTube and reddit before trying this one out because I gave in to the hype of Blur, Muse beauty and Gush beauty only to be disappointed with their products. Let's hope they aren't just another marketing gimmick but genuinely a good product line.

First of all thanks to the people of this sub who shared the deal on naseem asmira, i was one of the few lucky ones who ordered this for 1250₹ !!

After wearing it for 2 days i am sharing my initial impressions. This is a very feminine leaning soft floral, fruity and musky fragrance. Slightly sweet cherry blended very well with white florals with added creaminess to it. Its a very close to skin type of fragrance perfect for girl like me who cant wear and handle heavy perfumes around me. Its a very clean girl type of a scent profile.

Performance could be slightly better on this but not bad i will say, lasts on clothes for around 6 hours with 40-50 mins of close to skin projection like 1-2 ft .

If you are looking for something like it, can try it once.

I wanted to understand my collection better so I don't repeat frags of the same scent profiles and avoid redundancy. Also to know what kind of frags I naturally lean towards.

This analysis was really good. I am posting the highlights.

I would recommend this to someone who is into the hobby and planning to build a collection mindfully. Analysis really help.

(Mods let me know if it is an incorrect flair. I will do the needful)

Already wrote a passionate hate post about Libre, so why not come out and confess about the others. I can cut Coco Vanille some slack here, it's not 'disguRsting' like the other two.

What are some scents that are really hyped but you hate? Let's have a fun discussion.

A friend of mine bought these from BBW Canada SAS to bring it when he visits me here in India. I've got to choose a couple of products from this lot. I don't have any BBW products in my collection except 'The sweetest song' which I love. Need reviews of these scents if you've tried any of these.

TIA :')

I'm a gourmand girl through and through. Vanilla and coconut are my favorite notes and I love smelling warm, cozy and edible lol

But now that it's hot, humid and monsoon season, I feel like those scents might be a bit too much, especially for college.

I have no idea what to switch to. I don't know if I'd like fresh, floral or fruity (maybe fruity?) I'd love something that's still a little sweet but works better in warm weather.

Budget: under ₹1000, preferably with decent longevity. Please drop your recommendations!

i keep gravitating towards aquatic fragrances without even trying lol 😭

current lineup:

D&G Light Blue

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt

Davidoff Cool Water Woman

Zara Lightly Bloom

would love recs for feminine aquatics. doesn’t have to be niche tho, just something that captures that fresh, watery vibe 🏖️🌊💙

I dont have money to buy it right now but if somebody does please post reviews
